Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune

The Hawke 's Bay Herald - Tribune was a regional daily newspaper published in New Zealand, based in Hastings. The newspaper was discontinued after the merger with the Daily Telegraph in Napier in 1999.

History

The Hawke 's Bay Herald - Tribune created from a merger of the two newspapers Hawke 's Bay Herald from Napier and Hawke 's Bay Tribune of Hastings in 1937. Motor of the merger was William Arthur Whitlock, who came back to Hastings in 1933, the business of the Hawke 's Bay Tribune of his father took over and in Hastings as evening edition further resulted in competition with the Daily Telegraph in Napier after the merger of the two newspapers under the Hawke 's Bay Newspapers Limited Herald - Tribune.

But probably decisive for the merger was the severe earthquake of 3 February 1931 in which the newspaper house of the Hawke's Bay Herald was totally destroyed in Napier, and appears after the quake editions of the Herald Tribune when printed in Hastings. From this situation, there was inevitably the merger.

In November 1997, the Hawke 's Bay Herald - Tribune was taken with 15 other New Zealand newspapers and media companies of the W & H Newspapers Limited, which in turn was bought out in 1996 by APN New Zealand and now part of the Australian media group APN News & Media.

1999, the Hawke 's Bay Herald - Tribune was adjusted together with the Daily Telegraph newspaper and brought together the editors of the newly founded Hawke 's Bay Today.
